W. Ci T. U.
This story is told-of a-,GermajiwliQ
had just arrived in one of our" west
ern States. Seeing the name of Hel
JT endstine over a saloon he read it slow
ly and painfully thus: "H-el, Hell
f-e-n-d-s-t, fenced i-n-e, in-Hell fen
ced in."
THE DRINK HABIT IN ENGLAND.
The W. C. T. U. work in America
seems a little discouraging sometimes
- when we think of the lot to he done
and the comparatively little that has
been accomplished, but let us at least
be thankful that temperance has not
become so prevalent here as in Eng
land. Nor is it likely to become so.
An American White Ribboner tells
of a sad but interesting experience she
had in London recently. One morn
ing as she was hurrying to catch an
omnibus she came near upsetting a
tiny tot of eight years, carrying a pitc
her. Upon investigation she found the
vessel to contain ale, " 'arf bitter and
arf mildf as the child said for the
midday 'levenses, or lunch. It devel
oped that the little maid went after
the ale every day and enjoyed drink
ing it Immensely. She said, "I likes
to fetch hit, an 1 sees lots of buys and
girls there and talks with 'em, an'
gentlemen what gives me a penny to
kiss 'em."
After that the lady decided to miss
her omnibus and take a walk instead.
Within an hour and a half she count
ed 47 children all under the age of
twelve years coming in or leaving the
public houses with jugs or pitchers.
She went to numbers of the homes and
in almost every one found the house
wife setting the table and putting
bread and cheese and ale on it for
lunch. Their homes all reeked with
beer and many of the children them
selves seemed soaked with it,
" At one house she attempted to en
gage a charwoman, offering to pay her
a sixpence a day more than he usal
price. The woman quickly asked if
she furnished beer to her servants and
on being told that she neither furnish
ed nor allowed it to be used in her
house the young mother drew herself
up, placed her baby on the table, and
yrith her arms akimbo on her hips
said: "You won't suit me, ma'am. I
refuse your situation."
9n Englishman, well known in the
political and literary world, recently
pointed to a child with a bottle in
one hand and a pitcher of beer in the
other and said: "Look you. Can you
see there, as I do, the beginning of the
decline of the British Empire?"
An old, old bill to prevent the sale
of intoxicating drinks to children is
again before parliament. Let us ear
nestly hope that this time it will be
passed.
The W. C. T. U., of Philadelphia, Pa.,
has entered upon an active campaign
for the enforcement ofthe law against
pictures and exhibitions of an immoral
nature.
Major Sylvester, Chief of Police of
Washington, D. C, has decreed that in
the future pictures of women in tights
shall not be displayed on the bill
boards.
Ireaeliers and Actor.
Boston Advertiser.
The sermon of a Worcester clergy
man, who indulged himself in a whole
sale abuse of actors, has been more or
less widely quoted in this State. Rev.
O. E. Mallory probably thought that he
was justified in generalizing as he did,
but he would probably be one of the
first to protest against an evident In
justice if an actor should reply by de
nouncing all clergymen as hypocrites
and knaves, merely on the ground that
a few clergymen have been found to
be such. There are baa actors and
good actors, bad plays and good plays,
just as there are bad clergymen and
good clergymen. Some actors are In
temperate. Some clergymen, even in
Worcester, are intemperate. There are
plays and there are church
es which hurt rather than help society.
The work of the church in general, is
tar better than that of the, stage; but
to denounce everything connected with
the stage as immoral and debasing
shows ignorance ratherthan true piety.
If all man's weak spots were visible
you would think he had the measles.

TIE KLOO
Millions of little glands or tubes connect the blood with the skin, and through
these small drain pipes perspiration passes out, carrying with it the impurities that
are thrown off by the blood. Should the pores of the skin be entirely closed for
even a brief space of time, and the poisonous matter forced back into the circula
tion, instant death would result. In addition to the sweat glands, the skin is
provided with certain others which pour out upon it an oily substance, keeping
the skin pliable and soft and protecting it from neat and cold. The blood and skin
are so closely related that whatever affects one seriously interferes with the func
tions of the other. Not only health, but life itself, depends upon perfect harmony
between the blood and skin. When, therefore, the . v
blood becomes poisoned from any cause, it quickly gfi y 01F dm QUO
manifests itself upon the skin in the form
of sores and ulcers, pimples and various E,2ZQtBiQM POEGOtiG
eruptive diseases. By the character of the
sore we are enabled to determine the nature of the poison or humor in the blood,
as every disease originating in the blood has its own peculiar sore or pimple. The
skin is not only affected by the poisons generated in the system, but poisons from
without enter through the open glands or pores and quickly infect the blood.
Mercury nibbed upon the skin will produce Rheumatism, and Poison Oak and Ivy
and other wild plants gain easy access to the blood through the skin. As so-called
skin diseases originate in the blood, the application
PtitQ BIOOCl- of powders, soaps and washes can do no permanent
m m good, but often do immense damage by
SOft 9 H COM tnjf S'tin closing up the outlet to these little tubes
and interfering with the natural action
of the skin. The treatment must begin with the blood, and the acid or other pois
ons antidoted or neutralized. S. S. S. does this and purifies the circulation, builds
up the blood and flushes the little glands or pores with pure, new blood, and
restores healthy action to the skin. The use of cosmetics never yet brought health
and beauty to a rough, red, pimply skin or sallow complexion. What is needed
is rich, pure blood, such as 8. S. S. makes. It not only relieves you of all disfigur
ing blackheads, blotches and irritating, itching eruptions, but improves your general
health. S. S. S. contains no mercuiy, potash, arsenic or other mineral, but is a
purely vegetable remedy and the safest and best in all blood and skin troubles.

and skin diseases, and you can have the best medical advice without cost. Book oo
